Umm what turbo car? I dont see one?

 

fixed

 

Thats hals old car or nealoc187's car. The turbo kit now belongs to 96blkonblkse in canada.

 

thanks for the info. Nice max you got there. Does the turbo generate excessive heat under the hood? And how much boost can the stock engine safely handle?

Thanks.

 

You need to search.

 

As said search. I am running 18psi thru my stock motor(minus cams) and its fine. As long as your tune is good you will be fine.

 

i just ready the fyi section on maxima. How long have you b een running 18psi? You have gotta have traction issues. How do you deal with that?

 

the car is now owned by me, the turbo setup is now owned by 96blkmaxse. the video is from way back when hlh0501 owned it.

 

You have som great trap speeds for a turbo v6 maxima. What is "USIM" that is in your sig? How much boost are you running in those numbers?

 

Not to sound like an *** or anything but this info can be found if you use the button to your upper right that says SEARCH. All the info you will need is there. No one is going to spoon food you info that is readily available to you. After you search over and over again if you still have questions then feel free to ask. But before you ask anything else search then come back. Thanks .

 

usim- us intake manifold
mevi ( which you might see around)- middle eastern variable intake

i think for the boost levels neal or hal could help you if you can ask them.

and why do people act so hard on the net when someone asks a question? why not just bite your lip and dont respond if you dont want to answer him and say "search"

 

Seriously.....it's getting out of hand.

 

Not acting hard at all. If you look i answered a couple questions for him. What i have came to realize is that the search is now free. There was apoint where everyone couldnt search but now they can. Why should we have to spoon feed people that are too lazy to help themselves? Thats all im saying.

 

There's a difference between not spoon fooding and saying "search search search!" every time a non-triple OG asks a question that might have been asked before. Why not just lock the forums down and turn it into one big archive?

 

I do agree with you there. Thats why i didnt just come right off and ask him to search. I knew what he was asking answered it pretty fast. I answered the next question for him also. Im not one of the few that say search and dont answer , i will answer and suggest the search .

 

i can understand if its a question that is very detailed and requires a whole thread to explain then saying search makes sense


but 99% of the things on this forum can be searched for by if everyone does that then only the other cars forum and ot would be alive since very little changes with maximas for the general public.


we should look forward to the chance where we can be the wise old people and help out the newer ones.

 

Most times I just dont respond but sometimes it seems like people really dont know theres a search option on the org.

 

People that automatically say "search" w/out EVER really trying to help are just as guilty of being lazy as those that repost common questions. In that scenario, no one wins.

 

I guess you missed the other locked thread he made in the 4th gen section about a "bolt on" turbo kit....


He was told to search and instead makes another turbo thread using Nealocs car and then asks his questions.

 

I read the turbo faq section last night.

 

Oh and to those who responded,thanks. And for the record, I am grown and do not need to be spoon fed. Most of the car forums (corvetts, 350z, camaro, maxima) are pretty much the same from my experience. Some help, others would rather tell you to seach versus answering the question.

Anyway, thanks and i'll spend more time on google learning about turbo maxima's, that is if I want to blow the money on another toy.

I was running 14.5psi then. That is on a T61/P trim turbo. USIM is the stock intake manifold, we call it that because it was available in the US (of course) whereas there was a different, much better intake manifold available overseas, in the middle east is where we first found it, so it got the name middle east variable intake (it's a switchable intake manifold with different settings for high rpm and low rpm operation). The USIM does not flow well at high rpms.

 

i hate when everybody uses the search crap, if u know the answer then answer, if you dont want to answer then leave move to the next thread... GL with you research yo

 

I have no problem answering questions that have been asked before as long as they aren't some crap like "hay gyz i n33d to turb0 mah car, waT iz da bezt wAy?" I just ignore or lock those.

 

LOL at disclaimer "All footage was taken on a closed road course" as other passenger cars drive by in various scenes

Any power mods/changes in the future Neal? or are you content?

 

no i'm far from content, but also far from being able to do what i want to do with it so it'll stay the way it is for right now, except for getting rid of the usim for a 3.5IM or 00vi.

 

He needs to come to the track with me so i can break into the 12's . I think i need more moral support and my car will run better lol.

 

thanks again for the info. After reading the turbo faq's section it says the safe limit on boosting a maxima is 12psi. Above that you will blow the motor and/or break the trans. So to see people running 14 to 18 psi on stock motors is amazing.

From the pictures I have looked at the radiator hose on the driver side is very close to hte turbo. Anyone had a hose break or do you just upgrade to a silicone hose or use some heat shield on the turbo and/or downpipe or both?

 

There's no safe limit for PSI but there's a safe limit for peak cylinder pressure. PSI doesn't mean anything in terms of power handling capacity unless it's in the context of how many CFM's a compressor flows at that PSI.

 

that FAQ is rather outdated in some respects. you absolutely cannot put an arbitrary limit on how much boost any motor can run. boost does not equal power, and cylinder pressure is what blows motors, not boost pressure. 18psi of boost from kzoosho's t3/t4 is nowhere near as much air (or power) as 15psi of boost from my t61 is for instance. there's nothing amazing about what anyone is really doing here, having a proper tune is what keeps your motor together, not some arbitrary boost limit. those are the facts.

torque and abuse is what blows transmissions. the transmissions are FAR FAR weaker in this car than the engine is. you will break multiple transmissions before you ever break an engine assuming your car is not tuned like utter crap - in which case all bets are off and you'll break things constantly.

 

hey, have any of you guys found suspension mods necessary with FI?

I know the videos old but it looks like the car loses traction on the front wheels under heavy acceleration and the rear shocks get compressed

 

Well to me its amazing these cars can put out the power they do. I am new to imports and have been driving pushrod v8's for a long time. I previously owned a very fast '85 corvette. Converted the oem maf to a 1 bar map, completely different motor, heads, intake, you name it. I went through three 700R4 transmissions. The car would trap at 118 mph on motor in the 1/4. So to see your turbo max run 121 is pretty cool. The tune is everything in any high performance car. Detonaton will kill any motor.

 

I see you changed your sig lol. And yea my t3/t4 60-1 only flows 60lbs/min so the t61 will out flow it hands down. Also psi is the restriction not the amount of cfm the turbo may flow.

 

FWD cars will virtually always have traction issues. You really want to avoid wheel hop and breaking the front axles. I am not sure about any suspension mods for a daily driven street car. A full track car, yes.
